An Act relative to human donor milk coverage

This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to cover the cost of pasteurized donor human milk for infants under six months old. It specifically applies to state employee insurance, Medicaid managed care plans, and private accident and sickness policies. To qualify for coverage, the infant must have a medical condition preventing breastfeeding, such as low birth weight or a high risk of necrotizing enterocolitis, and must receive the milk from a regulated human milk bank with a doctor's order. The law also mandates that reimbursement for this milk be paid separately from standard hospital inpatient fees.
